The city of Brooklyn, Ohio Keep Brooklyn Beautiful’s third annual Home Garden Contest is open to green thumbs who want to showcase their summertime labors.
This is for the community’s pride, and it might encourage competition or improve the neighborhood. Andy Celcherts, a councilman-at-large, stated.
Overall, it’s a positive thing.
You don’t need to start from scratch, as much as I hate to admit that. We are imitating the actions of other cities.
Residents who are interested in participating in the Home Garden Contest can email the city at [email protected] with images of their home gardens along with their addresses.
According to Celcherts, the intersection of Northcliff Avenue and Pelham Drive is a prime illustration of this endeavor.
A couple is renovating the exterior of their home, and it seems like a delightful makeover. Seeing that people care about the neighborhood is encouraging.
Collections of vegetables, flowers, or plants must be submitted by August 22.
On August 25, a select few winners will be revealed, who will get yard signs and $25 gift cards.
According to Celcherts, we most likely had between 15 and 20 entries last year.
At this point, it’s more or less the norm, but hopefully awareness will grow.
Celcherts will judge, as will members of the Laurel Garden Club and Keep Brooklyn Beautiful.
The latter volunteer organization formally dissolved earlier this year, although this is still the case.
According to Celcherts, the Laurel Garden Club is somewhat integrated with Keep Brooklyn Beautiful and works in tandem with the Friends of Brooklyn Library.
The Cuyahoga County Master Gardeners group has been providing us with gardening speakers.
There is interest because those speaking engagements have likely been among the library’s most well-attended events. All we need to do is grow it.
